A few years ago, and many hard drive reformats ago, I had CAD drawings of the AR15/M16 rifle and had plans to get them printed for hanging on my wall. I wanted to find other plans of other types of firearm like 1911's, Stens, Thompsons 1927, Kalashnikov, etc. Does anyone know where I can...

When I went to my last gun show awhile back, I noticed there seemed to be a rather large amount of NIB shotguns, mainly Mossberg and Remington that had those large Barret style muzzle brakes on them. I saw a few other top venting type breaks also but my question is WHY? Is it some kind of...

In the opening scene of GunSmoke, the guy who's involved in the duel with Marshall Dillon, does anyone have any info on who he was? I was told many years ago by a friend that it was actually the guy who taught James Arness how to shoot and draw and that he was at one time a quick draw and...

Just wondering. Now that Schrade has gone overseas I was wondering who makes the good general purpose folder her in the states? My son is 5 so probably in the next couple of year I'll bee looking for his first pocket knife for his 7th -9th birthday. My dad gave me an Old timer 3 blade folder...

I was flipping through my MidOhio Shooters catalog the other day and was looking at the Hawkins type BP rifles they had there. I can't recall exactly which ones were which but I do remember the Lyman Hawkins rifles and some others that were fairly inexpensive. They were .50 and .54 caliber...

I'm sure it's been asked 100 times before but a search just brings up alot of Mossberg or Maverick questions and I couldn't find one actually asking that one. If they are, which model numbers are they. If not, sorry for adding to the post list.

I have an older Mossberg 5002 that I bought almost 20 years ago. It was the "Persuader" model that just came with the short barrel and pistol grip. I was just at a gun show today and I saw nothing but 500's that had larger 8 shot magazines. Is it possible to buy and install the newer magazine...

My father in Law gave me an old M788 but it has no magazine with it. He'd had it stored for years with the mag seperate and cannot remember where it went either that or t got lost when moving. I looked on E-parts and they are out of stock. I'v Googled a little but come up short. Some have...

I was having dinner tonight at work and watching CNN since we don't get Fox and Lou Dobbs was on and getting ready to talk about something the new Attorney General was doing or at least planning that was an infringement on our 2nd Amendment rights in relation to the goings on down close to...

I've read a few thread here and on other sites like this and wanted to post this so if anyone wanted to try and be present. I plan on going for a short time but I don't have the finances at present to attempt to talk anyone who may show up to trade for something other than the $50 gift card...

OK, I'm looking at what will boil down to my first actual single purpose hunting rifle. I am going to get 30-06 and I want it to come with factory sights with the ability to mount the scope. Here are my 3 choices: Remington 700 BDL Savage 110 Savage 111 It's mainly going to be...

I just and installed a Pachmayr Gripper Grip on my S&W686 square butt tonight and I'm not certain I'm all that impressed with it. I bought this pistol many years ago when I turned 21 and also bought a set of Hogue grips for it. Back then it only came with the Rose Wood grips. Anyway, after...

I have a female friend who is deathly afraid of firearms but is interested in possibly obtaining a taser for personal protection. We live in Florida and as far as I know, they are not illegal in any manner but I really don't know alot about them other than what I was trained in for a limited...

I was watching Shooting USA and Sighting in the other day and they made mention of the fact that yet again, NBC won't show any of teh firearms related Olympic sporting events during the Summer games. Where can we look to get some coverage of the events ths year? Thanks

OK, I posted many months ago about this and got a few tips. I couldn't find the post and thread so I needed to repost to see what's out there. I live in Lakeland and my wife has become pretty decent with a handgun. She's good at putting holes in paper, while standing still and firing 1 shot...

I've recently loaded some 45ACP and 380 loads using LRN instead of the FMJ in an attempt to make my shooting a little less expensive. I used the same charge as I did the FMJ for the LRN but found that I had quite a few feed failures. My usual 45 load is 5.4gr Win231 and the 380 is 3.1gr of...

My dad has some old Olin/WCC 30-30 cartridges that are a little green and corroded. He bought them new back in the mid 60's when he bought his Mod94. They've basically sat in a drawer over the years and he took out a box the other day and saw they were badly corroded on the outside. My...

I've got a few months left in my GI Bill and there's alot of money left in it. I was thinking about maybe doing a Gunsmithing course with what part of the remainder I have. It expires in 2009 and I've pretty much already got my career in the medical field, it's jsut hard to let thousands of...

I was just on the Winchester powder site and ordered the new Data book from Hogdon. Instead of having seperate manuals for Hogdon, IMR and Winchester, they have combined the book into one. I've been looking and emailing Hogdon since August looking for the Winchester data book but never got a...

OK, still new guy questions here. I know there are some out there who sort and weight everything in search for the ultimate round and consistency. I'm just curious how and what do you look at? Do you sort your cases by manufacturer and weight of case, do you do the same for each bullet prior...
